OUR DEFENSELESS COUNTRY

Congress Waking Up to the Fact That
the Nation il Unprepared Ia Resent
Wrongs.
WASHINGTON, January 27.-In Il talk
with Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, Chairman
of the Naval Committee, he states that
the United States can build rs good and
rs large a navy rs that of Great Britain
for 800, 1000, 900. But navy half the
strength of that of Great Britain is all the
United States will need. The unsettled
state of affairs in Europe, and the liability
of war there, renders il unsafe for this
country to remain in detenSeless state.
1t should place itself in condition that
the world may know its ca
pacity, and money will readily place 1t in
"a position to meet the most formidable
naval armament in the world Mr. Her
bert SAYS that all his information is that
the people want the navy rebuilt. The
four steel cruisers already built have
speed of Is knots an hour Ia knot is II
miles. one knot less in speed than the fast
est British cruisers. Speed is the great re-
quisile of vessels in modern naval warfare,
and hence the modern steel-Clad monitors,
while good for defense, and when in ac-
tual engagements capable of combating
with Britain's best men-of-war, must nee
essarily he supplemented by fleet steel
cruisers. Mr. Herbert is of the opinion
that the insular position of the United
States will always give it the advantage
over European nations in naval conflicts,
and prevent the necessity of this county
keeping up as extensive navy as the first
class powers of Europe.
Mr. Herbert, speaking of the Senate
Fishery bill, says that, while he does not
expect any belligerent results from 1t, yet
it will undoubtedly have good effect, and
will probably result in the correction OF
| the evils complained of This country
certainly has cause to complain OF the
| treatment OF its fishermen, but If 1t felt
| like resOrting to the extreme of war to re-
dress these wrongs it is not prepared to do
it. But this extremity he does not think
will he necessary. The desired end will
be attained by pacific means.
Your correspondent had talk with Mr..
Ryan, of Kansas, of the Appropriations
Committee, on kindred topic, coast de-
lenses. He expects that the committee
will recommend an appropriation OF
from six to eight million dol
lars for coast defenses. Steel
guns, the committee are satisfied, will
not stand the strain of continuous and
rapid firing and he thinks this theory will
he practically demonstrated in the first
war that occurs in Europe. The system
of defenses to be adopted will probably be
made OF torpedOes, shore batteries and
howitzers. As to earthwOrks and tortiti
cations of masonry work, they are utterly
incapable of withstanding the destructive
modern engines of naval warfare.
Mr. Randall states that he is i'll favor o
an adequate system of coast detenses ~
soon rs Congress can determine upon th'
hest kind of armament. Everything thu,
far offered has been useless, inadequate
for defense, and it would he but waste
of money to build them,

PILOTS JOIN THE STRIKERS.
How the Steamship Lines are Affected
Coal Handlers Jubilant.

NEW YORK, January 27.-All the
steamship lines are affected by the calling
cut of 'longshoremen to-day. At the Ma
tional Offices it was stated that the coal
for the steamer Erin of their line had been
put on board by the sailors and tiremen
and that they had engaged twenty-five
men this morning to work the cargo.
At the Anchor line docks the superin-
tendent said they had eight steamers lying
at the various docks, and that 300 men,
non-unionistS, were engaged in loading
them.
At the White Star line Mr.. COrtin said
the Steamer Britannia, which WAS to have
sailed to-day, had not yet fully completed
her arrangements, but that all her coal
had been gotten in by s o'clock this morn
ING. In the meantime the passengers are
living on board the steamer, which will
soil tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Currier, of the Cunard Line said:
''We are not anticipating any trouble, as
we are working all right on our steamers,
and are employing our own stevedores,
who are nom Union men, and paying them
at the rate of about SIS per week"
At the Guion Line it was stated that
they had had no trouble as yet.
At Castle Garden il WAS stated that
there would be no strike among the tow
boatmen, as none was deemed necessary.
The pilots have have also refused to
take out the steamers. One of the strikers
and evidently a man with some authority,
said to a reporter to-day: The number of
men out is over 10000, and number, be-
side the 'longshoremen, all the grain hand
lers, grain trimmeis, canal boatmen,
lightermen."
Superintendent Murray has all the police
reserves in readiness, but so far no violence
has been reported.
The striking coal handlers along the
New Jersey coast were greatly encour-
aged by the action of the Executive Com
mittee of the Knights of Labor Assembly
No. 40, advising strike of all the
Knights who are engaged as 'lOngshore-
Iuen, coal shovelers, trimmerS, etc. The
strikers were further encouraged by the
fact that there were fewer men at work
| to-day at Port johnson, on the docks OF
the jersey Central road, and the Lehigh
& wilkesbarre Coal Company, than on
any day since the beginning of the strike.
Fifty of the new hands struck to-day.
They were escorted by the PinkertOn men
to the railroad station at Bergen Point.
where they took train for Jersey City.
The colored cooks who have been furnish
ing the meals on tho steamer Jessie Hoyt
for the new shOvelers at Port johnson,
struck last night. The report published
that the brakemen at Port johnson had
returned to work is false.

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.
AN ICE GORGE IN THE SUSQUEHASNA AT
PORT DEPOSIT, ND,
Backs the Water Upon the Nwn-PsJpls Suddsnly
Driven From Their HOmss-MOre Ice Coming
and the Worst is Not Yet
Terrible Suspense.

PORT DEPOSIT, MD, January 27.-The
ice in the Susquehanna north of Port De
posit began breaking up at 2:30 yesterday
afternoon and piling up opposite this place,
which forced the water back upon the
town in frightful manner. In thirty
.oninutes the water had attained depth OF
five to six feet in Main street. running
with swift current carrying with it ice,
fences, lumber and debris gen.
orally. All the residences on
the lower side of Main
street, with few exceptions, were flooded
with three to five feet of water on the
first floors. Not more than three or -four
families living on that side remained in
their houses last night. No possible con-
ceptiOn can be formed of
THE LOSS AND DESTRUCTION
of last nights food. At day break to- day
the flood had partially subsided, but at
o'clock it began to rise again slowly, reach
ing the highest point attained last year at
. o'clock this afternoon, and at 2:30 there
was slight movement in the ice and the
water rose several feet doing n large
amount of damage 10 light structures.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
break the ice gorge with dynamite, but
after some hours hard work the scheme
was abandoned.
Reports from up the river are that
heavy ice is coming down in immense
quantities. That
THE WORST Is NOT YET,
was the general supposition, and should
the gorge opposite this place continue to
resist the accumulating pressure from
above, the final result cannot he conjec-
tured, and the suspense is fearful.
Watchmen will be on the lookout all
night to give warnings in case there is any
further rise in the river.
Reports from McCall's Ferry, Pa, %
miles north of here, and Colora, Md, four
miles north, advise that the ice is passing
through very rapidly and the water rising.
1t is impossible to conjecture how 1t will
terminate at Pt. Deposit.

Sympathizing Priests Removed-Report OF
Parishioners' Committee.
New YORK, January 27.-A consulta-
ton was held at the Palace this afternoon
between Archbishop COrrigan, MonsignOr
Preston and DR.. Donnelly, the new pastor
of st. Stephens. The result was the
transfer from St Stephens to other parishes
of all the priests who were associated with
DR.. McGlynn. The action caused much
indignation in the parish. DIR. Donnelly
will remain, as he expressed it, For the
purpose of conquerisg the parish" Card

Tascherau, of Montreal, are expected to III
here tomorrow, and it is understood that

reply to the Archbishop, and would not b,
able to do so for several days
The committee of parishioners of St
Stephens, appointed to call upon the
Archbishop and request the reinstatement
of DR.. McGlynn, made preliminary re,
port tonight. They recte that il has
been their intention TO report in the church,
but that for the first time in the history OF
st. Stephens the church was locked and
policemen stationed at the entrance and
add:-"lt was the intention of the
committee to engage a hall but we have
good reason to believe that the meeting
contemplated would be packed With those
unfriendly to our just cause and hence we
deemed il best 10 report back to our fol-
low-parishioners by means of n printed ad
dress
Then follows list of the names of the
McGlynn fund trustees, and how and
where to contribute to the fund. The re-
port closes as follows
"In conclusion we expect you TO main
tain the dignified and determined stand
resolved upon at our first meeting and to
adhere to the resolutions"
These resolutions were to the effect that
no contribution in support Of the parish
would be made during the absence from it
Of Dr. McGlynn.
